Utilizing That College Degree
UNITED STATES—For more than four years you attended that university taking classes to obtain that degree that you were interested in. Notice the key word ‘interested.’ That was the one thing I found frustrating about college, the factoid that you have to settle on a specific major. I mean sometimes people have multiple interests or things that grab their...
The Money Debate: Men Vs. Women
UNITED STATES—Money. It’s the one thing that has universal control over the lives of most people. Those who have it wield a ton of power and those who don’t do everything in their power to get more of it. Shelve that argument, as we turn our focus on the importance of money in a marriage. It’s been joked time...
Falsely Accused
UNITED STATES—Have you heard about the incident involving tennis star James Blake and the New York Police Officer who tackled him suspecting that he was a suspect in a crime? Yeah, you probably have and it raises a ton of questions once again whether some police officers are abusing their powers. I’ve seen countless outlets posting pics of James...
Sports Die-Hards!
UNITED STATES—I love the fall because it ushers in the start of football season. Rather its little league, high school, college or professional. I’ll be honest I’m more of a college fan because the stakes seem a bit higher, we all have our preferences. For the past 2 years I have been attending my nephews Saturday football games. If...
Curbing Bad Habits
UNITED STATES—It is not easy ridding one’s self of a bad habit, but with continual trial and error things do get better. I’ve been on a mission to curb my desire to grab a soda or pop or caffeinated beverage (depending on what region you live in) for years. Things have gotten significantly better. I don’t see myself always...
Demanding More From Our Politicians
UNITED STATES—Politics, it’s the one subject matter just like religion that gets so many people riled up. I can’t really recall having a healthy conversation with anyone I know when it comes to the issue of politics. It seems to always boil down to this issue of Democrats vs. Republicans or vice versa. For the oddest reason, many of...
Is School The Alternative Option To Loan Debt?
UNITED STATES—Anyone who has sought to obtain a higher education is well aware that the cost of a college education, a master’s degree, a law degree, a dental degree, etc. is a lot pricier than we could have ever imagined. I completed my Bachelors of Arts in English, Film Studies and Psychology nearly eight years ago.
Some of you might...
Labor Day Blues
UNITED STATES—With Labor Day now beyond us, its official that the summer is now long over and it’s time to get back to work. Some of you might be asking precisely what do I mean by that statement? Well, to a degree summer ending, kicks things back into gear for adults.
Yes, we might go to work all-year round, but...
Work Overload
UNITED STATES—Why does it seem nowadays that the idea of work has stretched far beyond reality? Some of us work part-time, some of us work full-time, and some of us work 2-3 jobs. Work is no longer a part of our lives, it is our lives. We wake up preparing to go to work and we fall asleep with...
Wes Craven, A True Inspiration
UNITED STATES—When I heard the news late Sunday about the death of horror director Wes Craven I was left num. This is a man who literally reinvented the horror genre in my opinion on two occasions: in the 80s (the explosion of the horror genre) and the 90s (with the reinvention of the genre). This was a guy who...
